Unlock your growth with Tyk

Since its launch in February 2023, the Tyk Gateway has delivered more than 325 million API-supported calls at an overall success rate of 99.88%. To put this number in context: the previous system failed completely multiple times per year at a rate of approximately once every six to ten weeks!

Kalamuna partnered with Tyk as part of an open source solution it was developing for San Francisco’s Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). The goal was to deliver an updated API system that was secure, accessible and easy for the MTC to maintain. Read more about this case study.
